Yes, Leonard Geiger is somewhat of a mystery to me and Lorenz Geiger I have found nowhere other than the Henckel genealogy. The fact that Leonard's name appears in one Maryland record in connection with the Troxels make me suspect a previous connection with that family in Berks- Lehigh-Northampton PA where the Troxels and Geigers were closely allied.
